Pencil test

This is the current state of my animation for sophomore projects. I am working with a partner on this who is animating a separate character. Unfortunately we have not recently shot the two together. More updates as this goes through it's phases to completion.



And this is the background painting I did for it. The final animation will be vectorized in toon boom and then colored. The original drawing for the painting was mine as well.

My partner did her own painting and they both turned out good enough that we don't know who's we want to use yet.... we'll have to duke it out I guess.

Pencil test

This was an animation project assigned to help us get to know the characters we are working with for our sophomore projects class. The assignment was a take followed by a run in perspective.

First semester 3d model

Process. Top are the original drawings. Middle is the wireframe. Bottom is rendered with textures and lighting.

ACTION!
This was from the first semester of my sophomore year at DigiPen. The class was my first real foray into 3d and I love it!

Character design for 3d


           Rumors say that he was once a great hero. A living legend in his time, the man responsible for saving his homeland from a despotic tyrant. But... He was betrayed. Every story is different, his lord took his wife for a lover. His brother-in-arms was bedding with the enemy. It was all for money, power, lands, women or wine. The details don't matter, what matters is his rage. He is now broken, more a force of nature than a man. He roams through the land killing every person he comes across; men, women, children.

            For every person murdered he takes a bone and decorates himself with it, then he throws the bodies in a pile and burns them. For every body burned he makes an incision on his chest and arms and rubs the ash in.



I will post some renders of the 3d model soon.

This is a caricature of a classmate of mine with an attempted house-style of Sylvain Chomet (specifically The illusionist).
